Which setting should iuse on electric thermostat heat or em heat what is difference?
On a system that uses a Heat pump, the heat setting utilizes the pump, and electrical coil heating as a backup. On the EM setting the heat pump won't run, only the axillary coils will provide heat.
Should your outdoor HVAC compressor run when your heater is on?
No, the outdoor HVAC compressor should not run when the heater is on. The compressor is part of the air conditioning system and should only operate when cooling is needed. If it is running while the heater is on, there may be an issue with the system that needs to be addressed by a professional.

Which setting should iuse on electric thermostat heat or em heat what is differnce?
These two settings are found when you have a heat pump. Using the "Heat" mode uses the heat pump capabilities alone. Using em heat, turns on conventional electric coils to create more heat (and run up your electric bill)
Is it more efficient to use the emergency heat instead of the heat pump when the temperature is in the 30's?
There is still enough heat in the air to run your heat pump when the temp is in the 30,s
Should the outside fan of an HVAC unit turn on when the heat cycle is on or does it only operate when in the AC cycle?
the fan on the condesenig unit (out side part) of a hvac system will only run when you are in the cooling cycle, unless you have a heatpump , then it will run in the heating cycle also
Should you use the heat pump in the winter?
Heat pumps are much more efficient than they used to be. For example a 3 ton 13 SEER heat pump today can generate 22,000 btu's of heat even at 32 degrees. Compare that with heat pumps 15 - 20 years ago where you were lucky to get 10,000 btu's at the same temperature. So yes, run your heat pump all winter.
Can we run our heat pump to heat the house even though the compressor is not working?
No. The compressor is needed to run in reverse in order to pull warm air from the outside to heat the home.
